Transcriptome analysis of PE-degrading Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Four purified RNA extracts (2 from cells grown in glucose supplemented medium and another 2 from cells grown in PE supplemented medium) were subjected to sequencing. Following cDNA library preparations, the final sequencing libraries were quantified using the KAPA kit (KAPA Biosystem, USA) on a Stratagene Mx-3005P qPCR system (Agilent Technologies, USA) and the respective library sizes were confirmed using Agilent Bioanalyzer High Sensitivity DNA Chip (Agilent Technologies, USA). The resulting libraries were subjected to cluster generation and sequenced using an Illumina flow cell, 202 cycles (101 bp paired-end reads) on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 system (Illumina, USA).
